Busy Day and good news
Woke up to a flat tire for a car that does not come equipped with a spare.
They lying sombitches at the car dealership told me that the vehicle was equipped with run-flat safety tires. Fucking liars. I'll never listen to a car salesman again without checking myself.
Luckily I have AAA and was able to have it towed to the tire shop. I waited two hours for them to find the special performance type tire at one of their locations
They said the flat was a manufacturing defect and I should try to get money from someone....
$313 for a fucking tire... My asshole hurts I think it needs an ice pack and a tampon.
While I was waiting, the wife called and told me good news that she is being promoted to a new position at a facility 5 min from the house.
She has been stressed lately from doing her bosses job for two years as well as her own and that of two other managers that had retired.
This is a 25 year career so far and she was afraid they were going to burn her out before she could retire.
Luckily someone noticed her dedication and hard work and sent her to this new position.
My wife's shitty manager and his boss who have been fat dumb and happy riding on my wife's back all this time are finally getting some payback.
My wife's replacement is the laziest, Ebonics speaking, discrimination lawsuit happy manager in the region. I'm laughing my ass off.
This woman "Janiqua" is so worthless that different departments pass her around like a hot potato. She does no work, is functionally illiterate and plays the race card every time someone tries to hold her accountable. No one documents her failures so any attempt to fire her will result in a huge lawsuit. Dumbasses!
They are so screwed!
I'm happy for my wife . She likes her career but this last stint was getting her down. Now she gets to learn something new and have a lot more flexibility. Part of her companies stipulation for her getting promoted in the first place is that I had to agree to put her career first and promise to drop everything and move anywhere in the country at a moments notice.
Weird huh?
I can't name the company due to the remote chance that someone who works there knows how to turn on a computer and read at a fifth grade level.

Praise God Hammer! What an awesome break for an apparantly very deserving family.
It's so awesome to hear of hard work, dedication and a work ETHIC being rewarded these days. Usually retards and people who have job security not because they are good, but beacuse they have a tan and are so litiginous that Jesse Jackson and Rev AL are over their mantles instead of family and Jesus catch the breaks! LOL
Congrats to the missus and to you my friend!
You DUMBASS-You believed a CAR salesman- and just when I though there was hope for you!! LMAO---(NOT) I too have believed people- I hope I never lose some of that capacity but ( Blinfd Faith) is an Oxymoron for Trust anymore---sad Yes?
GREAT NEWS on Mrs. Hammer's promotion!!! It's good to know that God does eventually give good things to good people!!!
Sorry about the car but...wait a moment...did you say you listened to a car salesman...a CAR salesman??? On the upside, at least you have the AAA.
Congrats to Mrs. Hammer!
Sorry, but jealousy is preventing me from feeling too sorry for you regarding the flat on your Hemi Charger.
Yea Mrs Hammer. That's super.
I'm glad your wife got what sounds like a very well deserved promotion, Hammer !
Incompetent employess like the lady you described are a nightmare... '
Sorry about your tire... Don't ever trust a car`salesman. Ever.
Yeah...you'll need the extra money for tires!
Had a '93 Cobra with low-profile high-performance tires...costly!
Dang who put lemon juice in bbc's milk?? lol
WTG to the House of Ham! Momma will be close enough to come home for lunch!
And cut yourself a little slack Ham... takes at least a sixth grade reading level!
Bad news on the tire - hopefully the company will come thru for you
Great news about your wife's promotion - but are they serious about moving anywhere? How likely is it and would it be a problem? Or is it just something they throw in as standard in case they need to send someone to Alaska?
That's funny to me...not "let the company know just in case, so that this doesn't happen to someone else", but "let the company know so you can get some money". That just seems weird, but I guess that's the way things are nowadays.
Congrats to your wife! That's pretty awesome to see someone actually get REWARDED for working hard. :-)
Congrats Hammer family. Where might this job move you?
Sometimes the belief in Karma is justified. Good overrules bad - tire incident; wife's promotion. Damg - sometimes it just works out. Good for y'all!
John thanks: She is finally feeling appreciated for what she does.
deborah: I guess the car could have just as easily not had a motor at the rate they were lying.
tysgirl: hehe, the hemi-charger is fairly inexpensive but costly to fix.as I am finding out.
snowmanpoop: thanks :)
annie: thanks, I can't wait to hear how badly this new woman messes up. It's better than TV :)
mushy hehe I'm going to try to get someone to pay for the defective tire. Not sure who will own up to it
cheesy: We're all happy that she'll be home more. It sucks to have her travelling all the time.
Jeannie: They always have the threat of relocation hanging over our heads but she told them that she will not uproot us for a lateral move which I think is shrewd.
bonnie: yeah people don't like to own up these days that's for sure and yeah it's rare that competence is rewarded.
stucco: We've been fortunate and have been in the same town for 15 years, but of this new position goes well, the next promotion could be just about anywhere.
cheesy said: "House of Ham" funny!
over 300 bucks for a tire!!??
what about the other 3?
the car salesman owes you some anti-leak tires or whatever they are.
also, this is just me being nosy, but you said the missus was on a 25 year career so far, does this mean she is older than you?
please keep us posted on Jaunikwa the replacement.
Infini:
The other three tires are ok so far... the defective one was a replacement for one that got ruined in a wreck earlier this year.
When I met my wife in college I was 21 and she was 28.
All the girls my age went for the guys with penis head haircuts and acid washed overalls ;)
So, Mrs Hammer wears the pants in your household. Does that make Mr Hammer a SNAG?
What's a hemi-charger??
I figure that there must be some kind of special air in a tire that costs $313.00.
She must work for the same company I'm a contractor for.
Happy for your wife and for a new family life she's going to have because of less pressure and being near her home. Plenty of people like Janiqua around the world, it's because of someone like her that my husband had decided to retire early. (anyway, it was for the best).
lex: That would be unfair for her to have to be the boss of the household too. What the hell is a SNAG?
jim: very special air.
alan: I hope you don't have your own janiquas
kitem: thanks, I'm hoping they offer an early retirement. but I'm not holding my breath.
That's awesome that Mrs. Hammer is finally being rewarded for a good work ethic. I love it that she's being replaced with someone that will show the higher-ups they didn't appreciate what a good thing they had when they had it! Idiots!
That is so cool Hammer. Congrats to the wife from us. It sounds like she really derserves the promotion. Glad to hear you have put your career on hold for her though..
Hey, if you have the old tire and it isn't too blown out you could make about 3 pairs of adult-size sandals from the rubber. Just a thought to take the sting out...
-ISU Tinkerer
That's great for your wife, but that "drop everything and move at a moment's notice" worries me. Hope you won't have to put that promise in action.
Many, many congratulations to Mrs. Hammer! Way to go!!!
Congrats to your wife! You sound like my fiance talking about my last job...it was the same kind of deal, I just go out. I hate race-baiters...it pisses me off so bad!
Happy News for Mrs. Hammer. Pat on the back for all her hard work.
Ouch at the new tire cost. Not what I wanted to hear as I am faced with the need to put new shoes on the red pony. Yikes.
Congratulations to your wife! And NEVER EVER listen to a car salesman.
terri: thanks and the stories of her replacement are going to be priceless.
twety: thanks, She worked for a big company from the start and I just worked for a bunch of crappy companies that fell apart. It made sense to go with her career and have me work backup jobs and take care of the kids.
anon: lol cool Idea, I could have 180mph rated sandals!
Janet: me either but we decided to cross that bridge when we came to it. If it's not in our best interestes we can say no and take our chances.
kateycakes: thanks :)
jenny: They piss me off too. I wish people would wake up and stop putting up with it.
marianne: thanks :)... and yeah I thought truck tires were expensive!
carrie: Good idea, I never imagined they would lie about tires though...silly me lol.
Congrats to Mrs. Hammer, and to you by association. I just hope they don't make you move somewhere you would hate to move, ya know?
I have never heard of a car that came without a spare. LOL Poor thing.
Mrs Hammer's promotion is a miracle!! Ordinarily slaves have to be sold. ;) The hardest working people NEVER get a promotion because they are too valuable where they are. It's people like Janiqua that get the promotions. Everybody wants to promote her, to get her the hell out of their workplace. :(
Jam: me too. We can always say no if it's too bad but that would end any chance of future advancement.
burfica: if I had run flat tires it wouldn't be a big deal.
tshsmom: so true, you just described janiquas last 3 promotions. She was offered a staff job that my wife was waiting 13 years for but janiqua didn't feel like moving.
ebonics?
that`s funny.
congrats on the promtion though.
we all need a break now and then.
Shit, I was pissin' and moanin' about havin' to put $75 tires on the Toyota, but now I feel a lot better. Thanks man, and congratulations to the wife. Good for her.
Dr Alistair thanks, I hate it when people say "I axed a question"
FHB: Thanks I'm missing the days of my 10 dollar used tires.
Good for your wife for getting into a better situation, professionally. Serves her asshole boss right for not treating her like a treasure. Payback is a bitch, eh?
Glad to hear that her dedication was eventually recognised and paid off.
Cheers
